Chapter 4: Waiting for Death

The strongest of these more than forty people was Qiang Wei, who was a high-level natural chosen person, and she heard this low voice for the first time. Closing her eyes, she swayed slightly, withdrew her gaze from the freezer, and walked to the innermost corner of the department store with a dead face. Remove the backpack from your body and sit down cross-legged. Then, she unzipped her backpack, tore open the package of an arm-thick smoked ham, and slowly nibbled on it.

Eating, this would have been a very common thing. But at this moment, in this department store, where everyone is standing and paying attention to a bunch of shelves, Qiang Wei's behavior is very abrupt and weird.

Qiang Wei's movements diverted the attention of some people, who looked at her in confusion but didn't ask anything. The aroma of ham permeated the small and crowded space that filled more than 40 people, causing many people to swallow unconsciously.

It's just that they are greedy, but none of them came forward to talk to Qiang Wei, and no one stared at the ham sausage with a good eye. I don't know if they're afraid, or if they're not hungry, or if they're focused on something else.

The youngest of them was a boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old, and he was the only one who kept looking at the ham sausage in Qiang Wei's hand. While swallowing saliva, the little boy's little hands, which were very dirty because they had not been washed for many days, gently tugged at the placket of the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man, who was probably the boy's father, stared at the sliding door blocked by a pile of things, and the boy pulled him several times, as if he was unconscious, and did not respond. It wasn't until the little boy saw that Qiang Wei was about to finish the ham sausage in his hand and called "Dad" in a hurry, that the middle-aged man woke up.

Looking down at the son who was staring at the ham sausage, the man's empty and confused eyes suddenly spread an incomparably rich pain.

The little boy froze, forgetting the ham sausage for a while, and stupidly watched as his father squatted down and hugged him, burying his face in his small shoulder, and trembling all over.

The man's suppressed sobs spread out in this space, and suddenly the little boy opened his mouth and began to cry.

The people on the side silently looked at the father and son, and some cried with them. Yes, they looked at it for a while, then turned their heads again to see what they had been looking at before.

Qiang Wei was the latter, she looked at the father and son, and her mouth was still mechanically chewing ham sausages. When she had eaten the whole ham, she took out another bag of crushed cakes, and thought uselessly as she ate them.

She knew why the father and son were crying. Children are afraid that they are too hungry, too afraid, and too depressed. The father must have died so badly because of his wife, especially because of him.

They had escaped once a few hours earlier.

escaped from the three-story hot pot restaurant opposite, and then was forced to hide in this haberdashery store, their original group of more than 200 people, in the blink of an eye, there were less than fifty people left.

The result of this escape was a failure, and it was not an ordinary failure.

Qiang Wei shoved a handful of cake crumbs into her mouth, turned her eyes, and looked at the sliding door of the haberdashery store.

The shelves, counters, tables, chairs, benches, and the freezer were piled up on top of each other, blocking the door, and it was impossible for people outside to get in.

But the main thing is that it's not people out there, it's mutant beasts.

Qiang Wei raised her head, lifted the bag high without any image, and then opened her mouth wide, letting the cake crumbs in the bag roll into her mouth on its own. Of course, not all cake crumbs were so obedient, some of them rolled to the ground, and some rolled to Qiang Wei's face. She wiped her face casually with her sleeve, and she didn't take it seriously.

After eating the bag of cakes, Qiang Wei kneaded the bag and threw it away. She felt a little thirsty at this moment, so she took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag in accordance with her body's needs, drank it in a big gulp, and when she swallowed a large mouthful of water, it made a "gurgling" sound.

After drinking most of the bottle, Qiang Wei suddenly smashed the mineral water bottle out with the rest of the water.

The cold mineral water flowed down her throat, into her stomach, and seemed to flow into her skull. The previously chaotic and dull brain was stirred by the cold water and immediately sobered up.

It's just that she would rather not be sober, what can she do when she is sober? She couldn't do anything except be more powerless, more unwilling, and more depressed.

The mineral water bottle smashed on the freezer with a "bang". The others in the store were taken aback and turned to look at Qiang Wei. Even the father and son and the person who was taken by them to cry together stopped shedding tears, staring at Qiang Wei with watery eyes that had just cried.

Qiang Wei, who was watched by everyone, didn't have the slightest meaning to explain, and after throwing the mineral water bottle out, she took out a box of canned food from her backpack and ate it directly, looking normal as if nothing had happened just now.

Everyone looked at it for a while, maybe they were bored, they looked away again, and then stared at the blocked door.

A slight "boom" that looks like something is leaking...... The sound of "......" kept reaching Qiang Wei's ears, and she looked at the other people who were not strong enough to hear this small voice, and suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have high strength.

Qiang Wei knew that at the moment outside the sliding door of the haberdashery store where they were hiding, which was blocked by shelves, freezers, counters and the like, there were at least ten intelligent monsters.

Not surprisingly, they're all pretty good. However, this is not what makes Qiang Wei unwilling to be powerless and depressed.

No matter how powerful this monster is, with her current strength, she at least has the power to fight. If she really can't escape the end of death, then it's better for her to make her last effort and die. In this way, at least when she arrived in the Netherworld, saw her brother, and saw that after the end of the world came, she never had time to see her relatives again, she could say that she did her best, and she could not let them be unhappy and sad because she gave up her life lightly.

However, the current situation is that if she wants to live longer, she can only hide here and wait for death!

She wanted to go out, she wanted to use the silver-white bone spur given to her by the mysterious person in her hand to kill, to fight, to make her death not too wretched. However, she hid in this department store, maybe she could live for an hour or two, but as soon as she got out, she would be killed instantly without resistance.

And not only that, but the blood that bursts out of the body is still red, beautiful, and hot. If she goes out, her corpse will not be decorated with this red and beautiful hot thing, she will quickly rot in a few seconds, and then, there will be nothing left, maybe even her soul will not be there.

So between dying too badly and living longer, Qiang Wei chose the latter.

Outside the sturdy door of the department store, fourteen mutant beasts formed a semicircle like a protector, blocking the way for those who dared to escape from the department store.

Surrounded by these fourteen mutant beasts, it was a person, a strange person.

If Nightstar was here, she would immediately recognize it as the most fearful and hopeless thing in the illusion - mutant humans!
